Jim Gottfridsson is one of the veterans in the Swedish national team.
And after the semi-final win against France, it was an almost taken Gottfridsson who met the press.
- I can not find words.
It's so fucking cool and cool.
We control the match from the first minute, he says.
What does the final place mean for Swedish handball?
- I hope it means that we have caught a lot of interest and I hope that we can attract many young people because it is a fantastic sport to play.
We feel the support from home.
"Comes a flying idiot"
In the second half, Gottfridsson received a slap in the face, but he gave calm messages after the match.
- I look a little blurred right now when I got a finger in the eye, but it is not dangerous but it belongs to the sport.
In the last second of the first half, goalkeeper Andreas Palicka made a crazy double save.
And Gottfridsson could only applaud.
- I understand that the Frenchman is scared.
There comes a flying idiot with his foot up in the crosshairs.
Then you will be shocked, of course.
It's a great save.
"My biggest dream is to win gold"
Gottfridsson, who previously won European Championship silver with Sweden, says that he ranks the final place high in his career.
- This hits damn high in my career.
My biggest dream is to win a gold with the national team and continue to build on the legacy that the Bengan Boys built up, he says.
